Sports Injuries Threaten Active Futures

In this episode of Breakthrough Medicine, UHealth’s television documentary series, we watch as UHealth Sports Medicine experts give a young woman with a severe knee condition the opportunity to live an active, pain-free life by replacing her meniscus with tissue transplanted from a donor knee.

We also follow the story of a young football player as he learns lifesaving lessons about concussions from rough play on the field, and find out tips on how everyday athletes should treat routine sports injuries.
